Bertha Cool

This is one of the newest bands coming out of Abbotsford B.C. as of late. They are a noisy punk band fresh from punk basements to your myspace.com top friends list. They were one of the bands that played in CIVL Stage III and have since played more shows around Abbotsford in places like the Fun Haus and the Burrito Libre, as well as playing their first Vancouver show with Yung Mums (Vancouver) and Bummer High (Calgary). They have a really amazing, angst-y sound and recently released an only-for-myspace single called 2010, which they have vowed to never play live - reasons unknown. Check them out whenever you can, they’ve been charting on CIVL’s !earshot charts, and have really making a name for themselves in the Lower Mainland.
